why not me?

Signals:

She's giving me mixed signals like an confused traffic

light/ I've been feeling her ever since I cop my drivers licenses/ maybe

earlier... all I know it was love at first sound/ hope it's mutual yet/

She's giving me mixed signals like an confused traffic light/ I'm

putting up with thoughts that she might not like a brother like me...

That's ocean deep in this poetry/ my love for my word play got me

feeling like I could be mention with the best/ I'm hard lover.... And a

deep writer/ I know you got a man wish I could just go back and stop

you/ feel like you was meant for me/ your smile is so unique/ you even

was there before the poetry yet/ She's giving me mixed signals like an

confuseed traffic light/ wish I could let you study my heart so that you

could see... What a great love that I have for you beanie please/ you

got my heart doing wonders/ soul count number of times when you

whispered those words that create the sound "love" and "you" yet/ She's

giving me mixed signals like an confused traffic light/ I'm tired like

mountain climbers after the hike/ I want us to stop beating around the

bush... I KNOW YOU LIKE ME/ what else do I have to do? To show you who

CQ/ the things I do..../ She's giving me mixed signals like spongebob

I'm so confused.... All I know is that I want you/ all I know is that I

need you/ like hand me down books given to slaves it's hard for me to

read you/ MASA please let me read you/ I'll do anything to learn the

alphabetical knowledge of your hearts desires boo/ they say knowledge is

the tool; so I'll be head first in these books with the thought of you/

She's giving me mixed signals like an confused.... traffic light/ I

just poured out my heart/ now my soul has no appetite/ signals

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
